Salome Strauss

Recorded at Pittsburgh Opera's full dress rehearsal, November 2016 at the Benedum Center.

John the Baptist, aka Jochanaan (Nmon Ford) wants nothing to do with Salome's (Patricia Racette) advances, and exhorts her to 'ask forgiveness for thy sins'.

Pittsburgh Opera: Salome - “Art thou not afraid?” (excerpt)

First performed in 1905, Salome was originally censored in Vienna, banned in London, and even protested in New York. However, now it’s considered a classic. Salome helped reinforce Strauss’s reputation as “the greatest genius of the age”.

Based on the play by Oscar Wilde, Salome reimagines the biblical story of King Herod, his stepdaughter Salome and John the Baptist - Jochanaan. Salome provides one interpretation of why exactly Salome forced Herod to give her John the Baptist’s severed head on a silver platter.

We are thrilled the title role of Salome will be sung by Patricia Racette, who sang the role to critical acclaim last year, including the famous, seductive “Dance of the Seven Veils”*. The dance is being choreographed by Michele de la Reza of Attack Theatre.

Two-time Grammy winner Nmon Ford makes his Pittsburgh Opera debut as Jochanaan. Robert Brubaker plays King Herod, and Michaele Martens is Herodias. Music Director Antony Walker conducts.
